This is our song, and this one's for you ♥ [03:07]
So I went riding yesterday and came out with some ok clips. Yes, before you ask I'm stil riding Amazonic. I'm not gonna let one little fall knock my confidence, I've been riding for too long to let that happen. Amo was being a total star until we came to the last fence of our jumping course. Once again, she refused. I wasn't happy as I'd thought she'd have got over it by now. The jump was around 2ft maybe? Yet she still refused. My instructor lowered it (not for my benefit, but for the horse's - which is the most important thing) and she went over it smoothly. I'm sure she has a slight fear about big fences but I'm not exactly sure why. But, oh well! Nevermind, it was still a great lesson. I actually got told to get into a "jockey position" which is basically just a jumping position without the jump, hehe. First in trot, then in canter. Amo was such a happy pony after her extended canter. Being an ex-race horse who can blame her? I bet she misses her racing days, eh? We've also had a great and exciting surprise come to us on the 21st of April. Check out the "Little John Paddock's latest edition" video to find out! :D

Chasing The Sun [01:29]
update!! some clips are crap yeah, but HDDD it!!! i made this yesterday, in the meantime i got new clips. we're working a lot of flatwork, because we both suck at it. my trainer had me put the dressage whip on my back... as u see. we're making some serious progress my lesson today we got him even better at the flatwork. we're really learning a lot about each other. later in our lesson we took him outside to the jumping arena. we know he can jump and my trainer knows im getting bored of all the flatwork. she put the jump down so he can just get to see it. he took off and started galloping away from it, not naughty, but excited! so gonna jump him more. i got him to be really good about the jump at the end. we're really getting along well.

Oaklawn Diaries: Will the Rebel Stakes make it 0-3 for Scheinman? [03:33]
While John Scheinman was on fire yesterday on the rest of the Oaklawn card, his public pick of Scat Baby went up in flames when the expected pace scenario never materialized. That doesn't mean he won't get back up and fire for another winner today and fortunately Scheinman is saving up his biggest play for the biggest stage of the weekend. And with over 30000 expected for the Rebel Stakes, we may be forced to throw him to the crowd if today's pick falls in line with his current two race losing streak.

Wholelottashakin 2nd - The Sweetest Chant, GSP 1.22.12 [04:28]
Wholelottashakin ran a very gritty 2nd in the $100000 Sweetest Chant Stake at Gulfstream Park yesterday, Sunday, the 22nd of January. She broke well this time and was in good position early. She was nicely relaxed and unhurried going down the backstretch, a very good sign as it shows maturity in just her 4th start. Alex 'The Great' had her tucked in on the rail and saved ground all the way. At the ½ mile pole she started to get in gear and took the inside route. At the top of the stretch she kicked into gear and closed on the rest of the field but the favorite came at us from the outside with loads of forward momentum. Although Shakin matched strides at the onset of the duel, the winner prevailed but not by much. We are very proud of our filly!
